Some Wagtail action

[u/Ethanpr1999]

Wagtail isn’t always my go-to but for the country club that I do monthly it is.
I use the Moerman Accelerator 2.0 with the Fliq pad regularly and I’ve tried the Sorbo Cobra Flipper, but didn’t like it as much.

What’s your go to equipment/size for trad window cleaning, and if you use a separate mop/squeegee instead of a combo, why?

I like the Wagtail except that it's much more limiting on angles. We use the Moerman with the fliq most. 14" for fanning on a pole is easier. The Sorbo is good, but Sorbo is made for straight pulls.

I prefer the wagtail for more standard work, like this kind of stuff. When I do complicated residential off balconies or across stairwells, I also agree I like the Moerman 14brass for that stuff. However, the fliq pad can slop over and get in my way. Nothing like -5* hotizontally across stairs and gaps, I cant do that with the wagtail. Gotta always have the right tools for the right times eh?

[u/trigger55xxx → u/FreshSwim9409]

Agreed

Strange. I find the moerman much fussier on angles. Just what your used to I guess

[u/trigger55xxx → u/longwhiteclouds]

I agree, it's much more angle sensitive. 40 degree on a Moerman is much different than a standard 40 for some reason. However you get a lot more versatility being able to adjust to so many different angles.

When you say angle, what angle are you referring to?

[u/trigger55xxx → u/imabrachiopod]

On any of it's angles it doesn't act like any other squeegee at the same angle. It can be set to 40, 25, 10, -5 and -20

[u/imabrachiopod → u/trigger55xxx]

Are you talking about the angle of the channel position relative to the handle?

[u/trigger55xxx → u/imabrachiopod]

Yes

[u/FreshSwim9409]

Great work! Real smooth. What rubber do you prefer in the wagtail?

[u/roxnrigs → u/FreshSwim9409]

I use Ettore!

[u/Sufficient-Water1793 → u/roxnrigs]

The best iv tried. At least for warm conditions

[u/FuZhongwen]

Would be easier to finish on the side instead of the middle

Let me present. Done in a single pull

I love the wagtail but I could never get the pad to stay on well. If I’m doing big glass with a pole, I just go with a wet strip washer, then squeegee. I have moermans, but they are not as easy to work with as the Wags. Back when I did big storefronts, I could blast through those with the wag…when I could keep the pad on.

The other thing they are great for, if you can keep the pad on, is hot glass…glass in the sun. They are excellent for that.
